“Troubador” deserves life in 1500 BC.
If he wants to fly for “free” would he mind the higher taxes to fly for “free” air flights?
TANSTAAFL - its a rule in life! Either you pay or someone else foots the bill. Nothing is free.
He definitely believes in the Obama "you didn't build that" mantra.

DailyKos contains some of the most insane arguments from people I’ve ever seen in my life. They live in a perpendicular universe full of pink and blue unicorns with giant federally subsidized lollypops.
The writer considers himself a deep thinker and the originator of the concepts he espoused in the article. He would likely become very incensed if you were to point him toward the writings of Marx and Engels.
...and all the airline mechanics work for free, especially if their illiterate and muslim
From the article: “Recognizing this, of course, means “No Fly Lists” are illegitimate, but if you seriously think someone is a terrorist, deport them, charge them with something, or accept the risk like a citizen of a free society.”
From Wikipedia:
The No Fly List is a list, created and maintained by the United States government’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC),[1] of people who are not permitted to board a commercial aircraft for travel in or out of the United States. The list has also been used to divert away from U.S. airspace aircraft not flying to or from the U.S.[2] The number of people on the list rises and falls according to threat and intelligence reporting. As of 2011, the list contained about 10,000 names.[3][4] The list – along with the Secondary Security Screening Selection, which tags would-be passengers for extra inspection – was created after the September 11 attacks in 2001.
The No Fly List is different from the Terrorist Watch List, a much longer list of people said to be suspected of some involvement with terrorism.[5] The Terrorist Watch List contained around 400,000 names as of summer 2011, according to the TSC.[6][7]
The list has been criticized on civil liberties and due process grounds, due in part to the potential for ethnic, religious, economic, political, or racial profiling and discrimination. It has also raised concerns about privacy and government secrecy. Finally, it has been criticized as costly,[8] prone to false positives,[9] and easily defeated.[10]
The No Fly List, the Selectee List and the Terrorist Watchlist were created by the administration of George W. Bush and retained by the administration of Barack Obama. U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said in May 2010: “The no-fly list itself is one of our best lines of defense.”[11
The writer obviously believes that the no fly list is for domestic use. There may be some people on the list living domestically. In a way, he has a point. If somebody is living domestically and they’re on the list, then perhaps they should be investigated and either cleared or charged. When I’m not certain about a particular policy I look at who supports it. In this case Senator Dianne Feinstein is a supporter. It’s time to take a closer look at the no fly list policy.
So if I extend this retarded child’s “logic” forward, I’m sure he/she/it would agree that I should be “free” to bring my side arm with me on all flights. After all, I paid for it and it’s mine.
